Can I compare strings in this way?

Code:
if string1 > string2 then
Code:
if string1 < string2 then
Code:
if string1 >= string2 then
Code:
if string1 <= string2 then
 
You can't compare strings based on value; the given functions for string comparison in WE only decide whether (StringA Equal to/Not Equal to StringB). But you can use conversions and such with Substring functions to extract most values in a string.
 
You mean like:

if cake > pie, then eat
if friday = today, then sing

???

Or are you trying to compare numbers in a string? If so, I think you can covert the string into a real/integer, then compare.

how do you convert cake into an integer and friday into a real?
 
how about:
converting both string to an integer/real and then comparing them via >, <, ==, !=
 
You cannot convert letters into integers. Creates an error.

If you're talking about string LENGTH, then do (String Length). If not, you'll have to do some separating.

Firstly, you get your string, and using substrings, check the first character. If it is an integer, save it under TempInt[1].

Repeat all the way until you finish your string length, then use this:

Trigger:
  • Trigger
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • --------What I just said ^---------
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to (String Length) do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set NewValue = ((NewValue * 10) + TempInt[Integer A])



This will succesfully separate integers from string, and then convert it into a number.

If you input 89wrygw3o4,

it will output 8934.

If you input 2uiwertheiruthhui4.

it will output 24.

You can't.... You could only convert if the string is a number. Did my joke go totally over your head, or are you just trolling?

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
